I was looking to interview volunteers at the upcoming 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), when someone recommended I speak to longtime translator Zhang Keping. My story pitch to my editor consisted of the following keywords: quadriplegic, self-taught English speaker, volunteer for 12 years. Needless to say, I got the green light in a heartbeat.
